Test three bioskeletal Flashcards
excitability
ability to receive and respond to a stimulus
contractility
ability of a muscle to contract and produce a force
other word for contractility
irritability
extensibility
ability of a muscle to be stretched without tissue damage
elasticity
ability of a muscle to return to its original shape after shortening or extension
epimysium, perimysium and endomysium leave muscle to form
tendon
sarcolemma adheres to the
epimysium
periosteum is fused with
the tendon
the sarcoplasmic reticulum runs parallel with
the muscle fiber
what is the function of the cisternae of the SR
container of SR, calcium is kept here and released into SR
T-tubules function
run into muscle and take action potential into deep parts of the muscle from the nerves
mitochondria function
aerobic power house of the cell
what is force generated in muscle
the amount of acceleration changes at different joint angles
the force generated by a muscle fiber is directly proportional to
the number of myosin cross-bridges that are bound to actin
motor unit
a single motor neuron and all the muscle fiber it innervates
low innervation control then
precise motor control
high innervation control then
gross motor control
sedentary people have what type of muscle fiber
50% slow and 50% fast
twitch is also known as
activation
what is rate of force development and relaxation
time frame from when receive signal to reach peak force and back to relax state
peak tension is typically greater for
fast twitch than slow twitch
what is the rate of force development and relaxation for fast twitch
faster rate of force development and relaxation
agonist
acts to cause a movement
antagonist
acts to slow or stop a movement
